Cindy Sherman

    19 januari 1954

    Cindy Sherman is een Amerikaanse fotograaf en filmregisseur, vooral bekend om haar conceptuele portretten. Haar werk onderzoekt stereotypen en archetypen in kunst, massamedia en populaire cultuur. Sherman gebruikt fotografie als medium om complexe beelden te creëren die traditionele noties van identiteit en de representatie van vrouwen uitdagen. Haar benadering wordt vaak gezien als een kritiek op de maatschappij en haar invloed op zelfperceptie.

      Die amerikanische Künstlerin Cindy Sherman zählt seit Jahrzehnten zu den einflussreichsten Akteuren der Kunstwelt. In ihren Fotografien inszeniert sie sich selbst, perfekt maskiert und verkleidet, um verschiedene Charaktere und Identitäten darzustellen. Ihr Ziel ist es, Stereotypen aufzuzeigen und zu hinterfragen. Eine Ausgabe von "Du" widmet sich ihrem Leben und Werk. Zu Shermans bekanntesten Serien gehört 'Untitled Film Stills' (1977-1980), in der sie sich in 70 Schwarzweiß-Fotografien als Modell in fiktiven Filmszenen inszeniert. Über ihre Karriere hinweg hat sie sich auch mit der Modeindustrie und dem stereotypen Bild von Weiblichkeit auseinandergesetzt, sowie mit der Kunst der High Fashion. Die illustrierte Ausgabe zeigt Werke aus diesen Serien, einschließlich der 'History Portraits' (1988-1990), in denen sie sich als historische Figuren im Stil alter Meister darstellt. Zudem sind Fotografien ihrer neuesten Arbeit 'New Faces' aus 2023 enthalten, in der sie mit digitaler Collagetechnik Gesichter neu zusammensetzt. Shermans Werke sind bis zum 10. September 2023 in der Staatsgalerie Stuttgart in der Ausstellung 'Cindy Sherman - Anti-Fashion' zu sehen, gefolgt von weiteren Ausstellungen in Hamburg und Antwerpen. In Zürich zeigt die Galerie Hauser & Wirth bis zum 16. September 2023 'New Faces'.

      Featuring 230 key works from Cindy Sherman's most celebrated photo series--including Untitled Film Stills, Centerfolds, Cover Girls, Fashion, and Society Portraits--this is the first book to address her work through the lens of portraiture and style in the era of social media and selfies. Cindy Sherman is among the most influential artists of her generation. Using herself as a model in a range of costumes in invented situations, she plays with images created and popularized by mass media, popular culture, and fine art. Television, advertising, magazines, fashion, and Old Master paintings--they are all fair game. Whether using makeup, costumes, props, or prosthetics to manipulate her own appearance, or devising elaborate narrative tableaux, the entire body of forty years' work constitutes a distinctive response to contemporary culture.

      An archive of found Polaroids featuring headshots and intimate close-ups of 1960s actresses, from Tina Turner to Jane Fonda In spring 2012 artist Jason Brinkerhoff (born 1974) discovered a collection of around 950 black-and-white Type 42 Polaroids featuring headshots and intimate close-ups of actresses taken from the television screen beginning in the late 1960s. The origins of the series--and, most notably, its creator--remain entirely mysterious, their author's only trace being the scribbles of actresses' names and dates on the Polaroids' edges. Edited by Nicole Delmes and Susanne Zander, and introduced by Cindy Sherman, Fame Is the Name of the Game showcases a selection of 120 works from the extraordinary archive. Capturing such celebrities as Brigitte Bardot, Doris Day, Catherine Deneuve, Mia Farrow, Jane Fonda, Sophia Loren, Barbara Streisand, Elizabeth Taylor and Tina Turner, the collection wrests the fleeting fame of 1960s cinema into the present, memorializing the fascination it provided for the anonymous photographer.

      "An in-depth look at the disturbing and abject sides of the American photo artist's oeuvre. Throughout her career, Cindy Sherman (*1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey) has been interested in the derailed and deviant sides of human nature, noticeable both in her selection of subject matter (fairytales, disasters, sex, horror, and surrealism) and in her disquieting interpretations of well-established photographic genres, such as film stills, fashion photography, and society portraiture. This richly illustrated publication seeks to highlight and acknowledge these aspects of her work based on selected examples and accompanied by texts by well-known authors, filmmakers, and artists who likewise deal with the grotesque, the uncanny, and the extraordinary in their artistic practice."--Publisher's website.

      It was in the mid-70s that Cindy Sherman began making her earliest works, in which she explored various manipulations of her own persona. She began by experimenting with makeup and costumes, getting dressed up for parties and surprising her friends. She then moved on to photograph herself in the various personas she had created, producing highly inventive but somewhat more primitive versions of the seminal work for which she would later become known, the Untitled Film Stills series. It was during this early period that Sherman created A Play of Selves--a visual tale of a young woman overwhelmed by various alter-egos that compete inside of her, and her final conquering of self-doubt. Acted out with 16 separate characters, these 72 photographic assemblages mark Sherman's earliest explorations of herself-as-subject in a series of staged photographs. Published here for the first time, these photographs include hundreds of shots of the artist costumed as various characters in dozens of poses. Organized in a four-act "play" with an elaborate, handwritten script, the individual images were cut by the artist from original black-and-white prints. Preface by Cindy Sherman.
